The plan for today is to ride from here to the Yukon on the Cassiar Highway, Stewart, BC, as far as we can, with the destination being the intersection with the Alaska Highway near the town of Watson Lake 21km to the east of that junction. 9 hours without stops..

Uploading takes a lot longer than downloading, so it’s all I can do to even get short videos up and online. It takes many hours for just a 6 minute video to finish uploading.
The Cassiar Highway is British Columbia most remote highway, running the length of the eastern side of the Coastal Mountain. The road is pretty rough, with one small gravel section, and the rest a rough road surface with grit and gravel on top of tarmac.
Cassiar is a mining ghost town. Allegedly, Cassiar was a asbestos mine. Needless to say, that product is not in high demand these days. I didn’t realize it was a product that could be mined straight from the Earth. I will have to read up on that topic later.
